“I'm really curious how the private listening - iPods, people listening on their phones - how that might eventual effect music. There'll be a whole genre of music that really works on a kind of one to one headphone or earbud level but doesn't really work when you play it in a room.” PeopleKindPlayWholeMightLevelsRoomsEffectsListeningPhonesCuriousGenreIpodsHeadphonesGenres Of Music Author:David Byrne
“When I'm on set, I do whatever I can to find my focus. One thing that stays pretty consistent for all my jobs is, I listen to a lot of music while I'm working. Because when there's all this stuff going on, for me to be able to put on headphones and listen to music helps me keep my focus,. A big part of creating a character for me is finding the general palette for what kind of music I'm going to be listening to.” KindI CanCharacterHelpingBigsAbleJobsStuffFocusOne ThingListeningFindingsCreatingHelp MeConsistentListening To MusicPaletteHeadphones Author:Joseph Gordon-Levitt

“The audience is invisible and that's good. Somewhere my voice is drifting through a swine barn and the sound of it seems to perk up the sows' appetite. Or a lady is listening on headphones as she jogs along a beach, running to my cadence. Or a dog sits in front of the radio, head cocked, and the sibilants excite him in some mysterious way. A dog's humorist, that's me.” WaySeemsRunningSoundVoiceAudienceDogFrontsListeningRadioInvisibleMysteriousBeachAppetiteDriftingHumoristsPerksBarnsCadenceSwineHeadphonesMysterious Ways Author:Garrison Keillor
“The time I like listening to music most on headphones is, I have a game I play with my brother, he's a musician as well.And he sends me MIDI files of keyboard pieces. So, these are pieces where I just get a MIDI file; I don't know what instrument he was playing them on; I know nothing about his section of the sound of the piece, and then when I'm sitting on trains I do a lot of train travel I turn them into pieces of music. And I love to do that; it's my favorite hobby.” KnowsWellsPlayTurnsGamesSoundPiecesBrotherListeningMusicianSittingInstrumentsTrainMy FavoriteMy BrotherHobbiesSectionsListening To MusicFilesKeyboardsHeadphonesMidiFavorite Hobby Author:Brian Eno
“I don't want comedy to be Bridesmaids 2. I'm not denigrating Bridesmaids but, enough already, let's stop pretending women are incalculably different to us. Seeking out podcasts, listening on headphones, it's like an intimate, specific conversation. People respond if it feels from the heart. I'm as neurotic a human being as lives, and I have my faults. I'm a drunk.

“I think it's pretty dynamic.

“When I tell children that they are far too dependent on their gizmos, they do not deny it. But they really don't care. This is their real life - texting about trivial things; listening to numbing music on their private headphones. The machines block everything out - you create your own little trivial world.” WorldChildrenLittlesRealCareListeningMachinesDon't CareDenyReal LifeBlockDependentTextingHeadphonesNumbingTrivial Things Author:Bill O'Reilly
